This binational Master's programme is aimed at students with an excellent first degree who are interested in acquiring a postgraduate qualification in German as a foreign language/Intercultural and Comparative German Studies with a special focus on the economic, cultural and linguistic relations between the Spanish-speaking world and the German-speaking countries.
